I, Danaeo Melran, am assigned to the Patrol Cruiser _Myloren_, number
P-4730, for duty.
At 261.0204, I was on duty in Auxiliary Equipment when Captain Klorantel
called, informing me that a request had come in for emergency
condensation. He told me to set up and await execution order. I preset
two forward radiators for forty kilometers at low condensation, with a
three kilometer radius at surface. I then put the controls on automatic
trigger, notified the captain, and went on with my normal duties. At
0221, we came out of trans-light, and I adjusted my equipment for
slow-drive operation.
At 0223, my indicators showed activity on the forward radiators. I
checked and discovered that full power was being applied. Attempts to
override the automatics were unsuccessful, and while I was attempting to
clear the trouble, the captain called again, saying that the request was
false, and asking why I had turned the radiators on. I told him that the
controls were jammed, and he instructed me to make repairs and set up
re-absorption.
I discovered a short between the automatic trigger and the ship's
secondary communication antenna. After clearing this, I found trouble in
the control section of the condensation driver. The automatic trigger
had become fused, and the control paths were shorted to full-drive
throughout. The sub-assemblies were replaced and trouble cleared by
0300. I then set up re-absorption as ordered.
